During the 1990s, slapping the floor on defense was synonymous with Duke thanks to Steve Wojciehowski, who was considered the “godfather” of the move.
It became a tradition among Duke players, a signal of intensity on the defensive end of the floor when the Blue Devils were in need of a stop. When done in Cameron Indoor, the Crazies in attendance would always ramp the volume up another notch.
It hasn’t been as frequent an occurrence in recent years, though Duke has brought plenty of intensity to the defensive end of the floor anyway…
